The drinking for charity is over, but there's still time to donate to the Home HeadQuarters Vito Fund

Home HeadQuarters raised almost $3,000 for its Vito Fund last at a celebrity bartender night at Bull & Bear Pub in Hanover Square.

The fund gives small grants to homeowners who are struggling.The most recent went to a family that had its water shut off in a rural community in Onondaga County.

Last year, Persian Gulf and Desert Storm veteran Darold Gary received help from fund, too, said Karen Schroeder of Home HeadQuarters. When he retired from the military, he had trouble walking and talking. But he was able to buy an aging home on the South Side and begin renovating it with a home improvement loan from Home HeadQuarters.

While the drinking is done, you can still donate to the Vito Fund through the Home HeadQuarters website.
